It is a classical result, by Dyson, that the behavior of the eigenvalues of a random unitary matrix following uniform measure tend, when the dimension goes to infinity, after a suitable scaling, to a random set of points, called adeterminantal sine-kernel process. By defining the model in all dimensions on a single probability space, we are able to show that the convergence stated above can occur almost surely. Moreover, in an article with K. Maples and A. Nikeghbali, we interpret the limiting point process as the spectrum of a random operator.
